I was suffering from ‘Depression’ for 3 years, says Bindu Panicker

Bindu Panicker is one actress loved by the audience for her sheer comic timing. She has been a part of many successful comedy films, but she has also proved her mettle in serious and character roles as well. Infact in her debut film ‘Vatsalyam’ she played a serious role always shedding tears. About her success as a comic actress, she said that she too cannot believe that it’s herself performing comedy roles and people are enjoying it as well. She also added that in real life she is a very serious person and never say or behave like a comedienne.

Bindu Panicker said that she was suffering from ‘Melancholic depression’ for 3 years after her husband director Biju V Nair, was on a ventilator for 34 days died. It really shocked her as her father also died some time back but when she thought about her daughter’s future she decided to continue act in films and she faced the camera again in the Mammootty film ‘Nasrani’ (2007). She continued that performing in films helped to overcome depression in a big way and it helped to survive in life and take care of her daughter. She also said that nowadays she is not getting much chance and the state of Jagathy Sreekumar is also a reason as they were a successful pair once.
